[quote=Anonymous]South Kensington has a number of museums and is close to Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens, which has a playground. Bloomsbury, to the North, is close to the British Museum, and Coram Fields, which has a playground. Regents Park also has a great playground.

I think with kids, you want to be sure your rental is near a Boots (pharmacy) and a Tesco or Sainsburys (groceries), since inevitably you need bandaids or milk. London supermarkets have lots of "lunch on the run" foods i.e., prepared sandwiches etc. (Marks and Spencer especially) In fact, the entire city seems to be one giant homage to the sandwich, so you can often get inexpensive lunches when you are out and about.

Kids also love Greenwich, which is cheaper, but farther off the beaten path. Plenty of green space, the Royal Observatory, and regular boat connections to the rest of London.

My kid loved Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, the playgrounds, the Tube, Camden Market, seeing a musical, the Natural History Museum, Trafalgar Sq. He could probably have skipped the British Museum and Buckingham Palace. The War Rooms have a nice kid s' audio tour.[/quote]
